Alberto Carlieri

Alberto Carlieri was an Italian painter active in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, renowned for his highly detailed architectural capricci and vedute featuring imaginary Roman ruins, colonnades, and grand classical interiors populated with small figures. His work reflects the influence of Giovanni Paolo Panini and the broader Roman tradition of architectural painting, demonstrating exceptional skill in perspective and the rendering of stone, light, and shadow. Carlieri's paintings have appeared regularly at major European auction houses including Christie's and Sotheby's, attesting to his enduring appeal among collectors of Old Master works.
